Whether they are Student Athletes or Graduate Research Assistants, students should be focused on their studies and athletics, not on collective bargaining with their coaches and professors. President Obama's NLRB is not looking out for the best interest of students, but is instead trying to curry favor with their allies in Big Labor. We know that the Big Labor bosses will continue to find new ways to try and increase their memberships, whether the students and workers want it or not. We need to have strong leadership at all levels of government, especially at the University of Michigan, who will fight against this.
Sign this petition to tell the NLRB, President Obama and the leadership of Michigan Universities that students should have the Freedom to Work and play sports without worrying about creating a hostile environment with their coaches and professors.

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam so fast because it feels like everyone is just ignoring what is happening on our campuses right now. People are actually paying attention to the way these groups are overstepping and it is honestly wild to see so many of you jumping on board with this mission.

it's top bad union bosses and staunch union members feel it's nessary to force people to join a union to work. Instead of letting it be a free chooice.
Belonging to unions is not right for students. They should be working at a regular job. Besides athletes education is paid for by the school, therefore they should not be able to participate unless they want to pay for their education.
Corruption and Unions destroyed Detroit. Unions should be banned from all public institutions.
Our constitution recognizes individuals, not groups.
No way!
The union bosses are trying to force more and more groups to unionize because this will mean more $ from union dues to influence the coming election.
Keep me informed

Ridiculous ... students should be focused on studies, enlightenment, and growth as successful members of society, not collective bargaining.
